RYE 2014

The Rotary Club of Sackville is pleased to have selected Dakota MacLean and Max Farella as their outbound exchange students, both will live the next year in Italy. Christoph Meyer from Switzerland and Henna Paussu from Finland have enjoyed a great year in Canada.

The Rotary Youth Exchange program has been an important part of our club’s life. Every week we enjoy the youth’s stories of experiencing new food, new school life, sports, family life and of course the Canadian weather.  All Rotarians are encouraged to plan an event to host the students for “something Canadian” – like a hockey game, a trip to a maple sugar camp, a walk in the water Fowl Park, camping, skating, travel, Christmas concerts, theater, etc!! They love it all – we have been blessed with wonderful host families who look forward to the next student.

Thank you to the wonderful Rotarians of Copenhagen, Denmark that organized the program in 1929.Since then, Rotary International has sent young people around the globe to experience new cultures. Currently, about 9,000 students are sponsored by Rotary clubs every year. Our club is better for this experience!!
